Hard Earned

posted by Colin O'Malley | 1961.40sc

Hard Earned is a series that follows five families around the country to find out what it takes to get by on 8, 10, or even 17 dollars an hour. The series turns an intimate lens on a group of 21st century American dreamers. They fight against all odds to thrive, when it takes everything they have to simply survive.

Originally shown on Al-Jazeera, we will screen 2 parts of the series as part of our on-going series on social justice.

Discussion afterwords will connect the Fight for 15 as a key strategy in the fight against poverty.
